Myocardial fibrosis (MF) is one of the basic causes of many cardiovascular diseases. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNA (miRNA) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), have been reported to play an indispensable role in MF. The current work is focused on investigating the biological role of lncRNA taurine upregulation gene 1 (TUG1) in activating cardiac myofibroblasts as well as the underlying mechanism. The outcome revealed that after myocardial infarction TUG1 expression increased and miR-133b expression decreased in the rat model of MF. The expression level of TUG1 increased following AngII treatment in cardiac myofibroblast. TUG1 knockdown inhibited the Ang-II induced cardiac myofibroblast activation and TUG1 overexpression increased proliferation and collagen generation of cardiac myofibroblasts. Bioinformatic prediction programs predicted that TUG1 had MRE directly combined with miR-133b seed sequence, luciferase activity, and RIP experiments indicated that TUG1, acted as a sponger and interacted with miR-133b in cardiac myofibroblasts. Furthermore, a target of miR-133b was CTGF and CTGF knockdown counteracted the promotion of MF by miR-133b knockdown. Collectively, our study suggested that TUG1 mediates CTGF expression by sponging miR-133b in the activation of cardiac myofibroblasts. The current work reveals a unique role of the TUG1/miR-133b/CTGF axis in MF, thus suggesting its immense therapeutic potential in the treatment of cardiac diseases.

LncRNA TUG1 作为竞争性内源性 RNA 通过海绵化 miR-133b 在心肌梗塞后的心肌纤维化中介导 CTGF 表达

心肌纤维化(MF)是许多心血管疾病的基本病因之一。据报道,包括 microRNA (miRNA) 和长链非编码 RNA (lncRNA) 在内的非编码 RNA (ncRNA) 在 MF 中发挥着不可或缺的作用。目前的工作重点是研究lncRNA牛磺酸上调基因1(TUG1)在激活心肌成纤维细胞中的生物学作用及其潜在机制。结果显示,心肌梗死后 MF 大鼠模型中 TUG1 表达增加,miR-133b 表达减少。心脏肌成纤维细胞中的 AngII 治疗后 TUG1 的表达水平增加。TUG1 敲低抑制了 Ang-II 诱导的心脏肌成纤维细胞活化,并且 TUG1 过表达增加了心脏肌成纤维细胞的增殖和胶原生成。生物信息学预测程序预测 TUG1 具有与 miR-133b 种子序列、荧光素酶活性直接结合的 MRE,而 RIP 实验表明 TUG1 在心脏肌成纤维细胞中充当海绵并与 miR-133b 相互作用。此外,miR-133b 的靶标是 CTGF,CTGF 敲低抵消了 miR-133b 敲低对 MF 的促进作用。总的来说,我们的研究表明,TUG1 通过海绵化 miR-133b 在心脏肌成纤维细胞的激活中介导 CTGF 表达。目前的工作揭示了 TUG1/miR-133b/CTGF 轴在 MF 中的独特作用,从而表明其在治疗心脏病方面具有巨大的治疗潜力。在心脏肌成纤维细胞中充当海绵并与 miR-133b 相互作用。此外,miR-133b 的靶标是 CTGF,CTGF 敲低抵消了 miR-133b 敲低对 MF 的促进作用。总的来说,我们的研究表明,TUG1 通过海绵化 miR-133b 在心脏肌成纤维细胞的激活中介导 CTGF 表达。目前的工作揭示了 TUG1/miR-133b/CTGF 轴在 MF 中的独特作用,从而表明其在治疗心脏病方面具有巨大的治疗潜力。在心脏肌成纤维细胞中充当海绵并与 miR-133b 相互作用。此外,miR-133b 的靶标是 CTGF,CTGF 敲低抵消了 miR-133b 敲低对 MF 的促进作用。总的来说,我们的研究表明,TUG1 通过海绵化 miR-133b 在心脏肌成纤维细胞的激活中介导 CTGF 表达。目前的工作揭示了 TUG1/miR-133b/CTGF 轴在 MF 中的独特作用,从而表明其在治疗心脏病方面具有巨大的治疗潜力。
